[[Category:Modding]]

'''Body tokens''' are one of the fundamental parts of creatures, and determine their bodily structure. There are two major types of body tokens: ''body templates'' (BODY) and ''body parts'' (BP).

A creature uses the [[creature tokens#B|BODY creature token]] to list all of the body templates it includes. Each part listed in each template is then included in the creature. In other words: a creature lists the ''body templates'' it is made of. Each ''body template'' contains a set of ''body parts''. Each ''body part'' specifies which other body part it is attached to.

Body parts can connect specifically to another body part, or generally to any body part of a certain category. These connections are handled by the CON and CONTYPE body part tokens respectively.

Body parts can be renamed with a ''[[bodygloss]]'', allowing someone to reuse an existing template instead of defining a similar template with only the names of the body parts changed.

== Convention ==

The convention in the unmodded raw object data in Dwarf Fortress is to make the centre of mass the core of the creature. All other body parts then attach to this central mass, or to those body parts that attach to this central mass. Creating chains of attachments in this fashion produces limbs.

While it is possible to use the CON token to connect to a specific body part ID even if it is in another template, it is convention within the default raw object data to use a CONTYPE if the connected part is in another template, for safety. Otherwise, a creature must have both templates within its BODY token to prevent unpredictable behaviour when the creature is used during world generation or simulated during gameplay.

|-
| BODYGLOSS
|
* id
* match
* replacement
| Replaces all occurrences of "match" in the creature's body parts with "replacement". E.g., the Body Token [BODYGLOSS:TENTACLE:leg:tentacle], used by the Creature Token [BODYGLOSS:TENTACLE], will cause any "right leg" to appear as "right tentacle".

==Body Parts==

{| border="1" cellpadding="2" width="100%"
! width="20%" | Token
! width="20%" | Arguments
! width="60%" | Description

|-
| APERTURE
|
| Unknown effect. An opening in the body, apparently, but no known purpose.

|-
| BP
|
* id
| The internal object ID of the body part. Unlike many other tokens in the game, the id of the BP does not need to be unique throughout all of the raw object files, though it does need to be unique within the BODY it is in.

|-
| BREATHE
|
| The body part is necessary to breathe. If the body part is destroyed, the creature can suffocate unless it has the NOBREATHE token.

|-
| CIRCULATION
|
| If this body part is destroyed, the creature will bleed to death?

|-
| CON
|
* id
| The specific body part ''object ID'' to which this body part attaches.

|-
| CONTYPE
|
* type
| The body part ''token type'' to which this body part attaches. Note that if the creature has more than one body part with that token type each of them will get its own additional body part attached.

|-
| DIGIT
|
| Is a finger/toe. Unknown effect.

|-
| EMBEDDED
|
| The body part is embedded into the body -- it is external, but is not shown until injured. Compare INTERNAL. Can be gouged out?

|-
| FLIER
|
| The body part is necessary for the creature to fly, and damage to the body part will ground the creature.

|-
| GRASP
|
| The body part can be used to hold items (if the creature has the EQUIPS token) or [[wrestling|wrestle]].

|-
| GUTS
|
| To be thought of like intestines. Can be disembowelled, causing a slow painful death from heavy bleeding.

|-
| HEAD
|
| Vital bodypart. If severed, creature dies.

|-
| HEAR
|
| Unknown effect. Presumably allows the creature to listen.

|-
| INTERNAL
|
| The body part is an internal organ and is not visible until injured.

|-
| JOINT
|
| Can be broken by [[wrestling]] (possibly falling damage in a future version).

|-
| LEFT
|
| The body part is on the left side of the creature and is thus vulnerable to attacks from the left side.

|-
| LIMB
|
| The body part is usable for [[wrestling]] (i.e. can grab, lock, choke, etc).

|-
| LOWERBODY
|
| The body part is another part of the "core" of the creature. When the lowerbody body part is destroyed, the creature is bisected.

|-
| MOUTH
|
| Allows the creature to eat?

|-
| NERVOUS
|
| Causes pain when destroyed. Other effects?

|-
| RIGHT
|
| The body part is on the right side of the creature and is thus vulnerable to attacks from the right side.

|-
| SIGHT
|
| Allows creatures to see; creatures without this tag on any part of their bodies cannot see for the purposes of aiming missile weapons (though apparently can find and kill mad adventurers fairly well with melee attacks). May need more testing.

|-
| SKELETON
|
| Prevents game code from removing this bodypart when the creature is converted to skeletal undead.

|-
| SMALL
|
| Unknown effect. Reduces chance to hit?

|-
| SMELL
|
| Unknown effect. Presumably allows creature to smell.

|-
| STANCE
|
| The body part is used to keep the creature standing; injury to the body part will cause the creature to collapse. It also makes the body part act like a foot, and adds toes to the body part. This can be problematic as the body part can be armored by a boot.

|-
| THOUGHT
|
| Necessary for the creature to think. Without a working brain, the creature dies unless it has the NOTHOUGHT Creature Token.

|-
| THROAT
|
| Can be strangled with [[wrestling]] to cause winding, unconsciousness, and eventual death. Strangely, even creatures with the NOBREATHE token can be rendered unconscious (but not dead) by strangulation.

|-
| UPPERBODY
|
| The body part is the "core" of the creature; when the upperbody body part is destroyed, the creature is blown apart.

|-

==Body Part Types==

Legal token types for use with the Attack Token "BYTYPE" argument or for the Body Token "CONTYPE" argument:

* APERTURE
* BREATHE
* CIRCULATION
* DIGIT
* FLIER
* GRASP
* GUTS
* HEAD
* HEAR
* JOINT
* LIMB
* LOWERBODY
* MOUTH
* NERVOUS
* SMELL
* STANCE
* THOUGHT
* UPPERBODY

==Example==

An [[elephant]] is composed of a large number of body parts, but only includes a small list of templates. When an elephant asks for the following 15 templates in its CREATURE:ELEPHANT token:
[BODY:QUADRUPED:TAIL:2EYES:2EARS:TRUNK:2LUNGS:HEART:GUTS:ORGANS:THROAT:NECK:SPINE:BRAIN:MOUTH:2TUSKS]

...it gets all of the following 35 body parts:

- right front leg
- left front leg
- right front foot
- left front foot
- right rear leg

==Trading==
I have successfuly traded them Silk items in 0.27.169.32a--[[User:Draco18s|Draco18s]] 00:01, 4 November 2007 (EDT)

:Thanks for testing it, I removed the verify tag. --[[User:Turgid Bolk|Turgid Bolk]] 20:43, 4 November 2007 (EST)

I have to wonder why elves wouldn't accept anything made out of wood, when all they want to trade me is animals in wooden cages, and alcohol in wooden barrels and bows and bolts made out of wood...you know what, almost everything they wanted to trade me was made from wood... --[[User:UltimaGecko|UltimaGecko]] 01:32, 4 November 2007 (EDT)

:It's because the elves ask nicely when they take wood from a tree. Dwarves go out and TAKE IT!--[[User:Xazak|Xazak]] 14:38, 4 November 2007 (EST)

I accidentally tried to trade a wooden bucket with them. The elves scolded me, but still allowed me to trade my stone mugs and scepters. They don't leave straight away anymore.--[[User:Mechturk|Mechturk]] 01:44, 5 November 2007 (EST)

:Ah, I'm glad they're more forgiving now. Fixed. --[[User:Turgid Bolk|Turgid Bolk]] 02:14, 5 November 2007 (EST)

::They may rather be bugged now. There is a bug report that offering them something they don't like will make their mood maximally happy. --[[User:Geekwad|Geekwad]] 14:14, 19 November 2007 (EST)

:::Elfs are stupid. I traded some stone crafts for some of their wooden cages, and then i tryed to trade those same wooden cages back and they get angry at me for killing trees! [[User:Diabl0658|Diabl0658]] 12:09, 1 December 2007 (EST)

What about flours, syrups and the like? Food? The DO buy prepared meals.--[[User:Dorten|Dorten]] 00:32, 3 April 2008 (EDT)

I've noticed something new which may just be a coincidence - As I scale back my harvesting of wood from local sources (outside) the elves bring me a larger quantity of wood to trade. If I start chopping trees down for roads, etc. then they bring me less. Anyone else notice this? --[[User:Termitehead|Termitehead]] 08:49, 6 May 2008 (CST)

== Fortress in Elf Territory ==

I set one up for fun, and so far (1st winter) there's been no effect. The weirdest part is the large number of named trees; I've avoided cutting them down, and the elves haven't bothered me. I've had hunters chase and kill deer right in their midst with no ill effect as well -- it remains to be seen what happens if he misses the deer and hits an elf, though. Will report back when I find something interesting. [[User:Dolohov|Dolohov]] 10:53, 12 November 2007 (EST)

==Pissed-off the elves...==
They seem to be kinda wussy, considering that I confiscated all of their trade caravan's goods (3k in rope reed cloth of various colors and a little bit of alcohol and seeds) and I expected a siege (my fort is in a boring area, and losing is fun) but they won't attack me. I took their junk a season or two ago. When and how will they attack? --[[User:Penguinofhonor|Penguinofhonor]] 19:22, 27 November 2007 (EST)

:Elves are wusses now. It's not even known if non-evil races still siege, much less treehugging wusses like elves. -[[User:Kefkakrazy|Kefkakrazy]] 01:09, 28 November 2007 (EST)

::[[Siege]]s from non-evil races have been disabled for now. They'll be back once the war arc is complete. --[[User:Strangething|Strangething]] 15:10, 17 June 2008 (EDT)

==Elves bringing corpses==
The elves usually bring an animal or two in cages to trade, but many times that bring cages full of corpses... It's either all alive, or all corpses. Maybe the animals died in transit? Anybody else have this happen to them?--[[User:Valdemar|Valdemar]] 22:11, 25 December 2007 (EST)

: "It's not dead, it's resting". Er, the humans do this to me too. Pretty sure it's on the known bug list. [[User:Acama|Acama]] 02:17, 30 December 2007 (EST)

:I'm rather certain that if you're in a climate that you can die from exposure, that this is what happens. Have you gotten a shipment of live animals and a shipment of dead ones while at the same site? If not, then this is almost certainly the case. If so, it's possibly a function of a random number and perhaps the extremeness of the climate. --[[User:N9103|Edward]] 04:11, 30 December 2007 (EST)

::I seem to recall it being stated that this was due to the caravan passing THROUGH climates where you can die of exposure on the way to your fortress. If the path a civ needs to take runs through freezing or scorching climates, the elves don't give the animals proper temperature care and they die. In contrast, the elves seem to make it through just fine--who knows, maybe the code is slightly different for caravan entities and separate creatures that happen to be carried along with the caravan. --[[User:Alfador|Alfador]] 12:03, 10 January 2008 (EST)

:I actually prefer this method. I like to trap stuff myself so it makes the cages much cheaper, and the corpse can still be butchered for meat, bones, fat, and skulls. Your butcher will grab the entire cage and take it to the butcher's shop to empty it. --[[User:Ikkonoishi|Ikkonoishi]] 11:20, 30 December 2007 (EST)

== Elves and Animals ==

Doing some testing with using Elves in fortress mode, it seems that they will NOT be attacked by animals. Do you think we might go as far as to write in this page that [NATURAL]creatures will not attack elves? [[User:Zonk|Zonk]] 11:57, 9 January 2008 (EST)

== Elven warnings ==

The elves just warned me about cutting too many trees... I didn't realize that was still in. --[[User:Bobson|Bobson]] 17:23, 27 February 2008 (EST)

== Elven traders ==

I have read that if the human caravans are attacked too many times, that the humans will wage war on you. I have also read that if you cut down too many trees, the elves will wage war on you. But if you let the elven traders die, will they also wage war on you? --[[User:Wafl|Wafl]] 22:14, 13 April 2008 (EDT)

:Don't think so, elves got ambushed by gobbies one year and I did nothing to help them. Accidentally saved one of the traders, though, but he starved to death. --[[User:Gh3yz0r|Gh3yz0r]] 19:17, 8 July 2008 (EDT)

==Blood Covering?==

I have sold some items with blood covering with no negative effects... can anyone confirm if it's true or not? [[User:AlexFili|AlexFili]] 04:55, 8 May 2008 (EDT)

I cannot say firsthand, but I've heard in the forums and, I think, elsewhere in the Wiki that blood covering angers the elves.--[[User:RustyMcloon|Rusty Mcloon]] 23:24, 16 July 2008 (EDT)

== Speaking with Halfmen ==

What exactly is the tag that lets you speak with snakemen, ratmen, etcetera? I haven't been able to figure it out as of yet, and I want to add it to a creature I'm making.

In addition, adding the [AT_PEACE_WITH_WILDLIFE] tag didn't stop wolves and bears from ambushing and attacking me; so judging from this that is not the tag that makes them 'immune' to attacks; either that, or the wolves/bears and other large predators ignore that tag. ~ [[User:Midna|Midna]] 15:59, 14 May 2008 (EDT) (Edited later due to forgetting to add nametag)

Animalmen are no longer wildlife in 39e, so they're hostile to elves. Someone should edit the article to express this. --[[User:Neoskel|Neoskel]] 21:40, 8 August 2008 (EDT)

== Elves as of .39c ==

I feel the Elves went under a pretty big overhaul in the latest version. They've turned into tree huggers who do little else but complain, to zerging cannibals who dominate worlds when given enough time. Also little things, like Elves regrowing trees around captured sites, in addition to the aforementioned personality changes, may warrant it's own section, and/or editing.

== Elven Ambushes ==

While they may not seige, They do preform Ambushes.

And I noticed something quite strange...

They ambushed with Mounts. I saw a swarm of Unicorns heading torwards my location. There where no unicorns on my map, so I sent my military to meet them, and when battle was engaged, it said "An Ambush!" And, for each Unicorn, there was also an elf (on the same square)

I'm not sure where to put this in the article though. I've been ambushed by non-mounted elves several times as well. Maybe a new section "Amubsh/Seige habits?"

:I've seen Elves ambush on unicorns too (version 0.28.181.39e), and they had no qualms about slaughtering the puppies I had tied to chains outside -[[User:Namako|Namako]] 14:09, 25 July 2008 (EDT)

== Elven Trading as of Latest Version ==

It seems to me that the elves are much, much more tolerant than before as to what items they will accept. So far I've successfully given them leather, bone, and shell crafts just fine. I have also tried offering them the same branch of items, and they will happily accept them. They even accept items that have blood on them. They will still reject pure wooden goods.
I haven't fully tested skulls, soap, or other animal byproducts yet. But if I were to hazard a guess, I would say they still will reject any item that has wood involved in it's creation, or any item with decorations of wood.
[[User:Lightning4|Lightning4]] 09:37, 31 July 2008 (EDT)

== How do I kill elves? ==

I don't like elves in my fortress and I would like to kill them with my thirty axedwarfs, how would I go about doing this? – [[template:unsigned|unsigned]] comment by [[User:TheLastBarber|TheLastBarber]]

:You can only attack people who have come to your fortress with ill intent. Anger them enough (cut down trees, take their stuff, involve their merchants in unfortunate "accidents", etc.) and they should send forces to attack you, whereupon you can finally take joy in the slaughter. --[[User:Raumkraut|Raumkraut]] 15:39, 5 August 2008 (EDT)

40d:Armor

2008-08-08T06:37:51Z

Neoskel: /* Types of Protection */

==Armor==
'''Armor''' is a class of clothing items that your [[dwarves]] can wear for protection to keep them alive longer. Armor can range from simple [[clothing]], light weight [[shell]], [[bone]] and [[leather]], to heavy [[chain mail]] and [[plate mail]].

Giving your dwarves protective garments will help to keep them alive in combat, as well as safe from the elements. It will also protect them against [[sparring]] injuries and may develop their [[Armor user]] skill.

While clothing is not something that you need to worry about in the first few years of your fortress, after some time the clothing your dwarves wear will start to [[wear]] away. Wearing old or tattered clothes creates unhappy [[thoughts]], and having clothing wear away completely creates an even bigger one. Civilians will not wear armor other than clothing. Assign them to be [[miner]]s or lumberjacks if you're concerned about them, since they'll carry [[axe]]s and [[pick]]s then even if they're not drafted.

== Making armor ==
Depending on the type and material, different dwarves with specific skills are needed to make armor. While clothes aren't necessarily armor, they do offer limited protection. Shell and bone armors are made by a [[bone carver]] at a [[craftsdwarf's workshop]]. Chain mail and plate mail are made by an [[armorer]] at a [[metalsmith's forge]]. The type of [[metal]] used affects the effectiveness of the armor. Leather armors are made at a [[leather works]] by a [[leatherworker]]. Skilled craftdwarves, leather workers and armorers will produce better quality armor that multiplies the effectiveness of the item.

==Quality==
[[Toady]] has [http://www.bay12games.com/cgi-local/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=12&t=000013 stated] that [[Quality|item quality]] increases its protection (or damage, in the case of [[weapons]]), namely, "Quality has a huge effect on damage and damage reduction... Exceptional is almost double damage/damage block."

{|cellpadding="2" border="1"
! Symbol !! Name !! Damage reduction multiplier
|-
| Item || Basic armor || x1.0
|-
| -Item- || Well-crafted armor || x1.2
|-
| +Item+ || Finely Crafted armor || x1.4
|-
| *Item* || Superior Quality armor || x1.6
|-
| ≡Item≡ || Exceptional armor || x1.8
|-
| ☼Item☼ || Masterful armor || x2.0
|}
==Material==
Better materials provide better protection, according to the following table:

{|cellpadding="2" border="1"
! Material !! Modifier %
|-
| [[Adamantine]] || 500
|-
| [[Steel]] || 133
|-
| [[Iron]] || 100
|-
| [[Bronze]] or [[Bismuth bronze]] || 75
|-
| [[Copper]] || 66
|-
| Other metals/materials ([[leather]], [[cloth]], [[bone]], [[shell]], [[wood]], etc.) || 50
|}

== Using Armor ==

To tell a [[dwarf]] to wear armor in Fortress Mode, {{k|v}}iew the dwarf, go to {{k|p}}references, then {{k|s}}oldiering. There you can select the highest level of armor he should wear: clothes, leather, chain, or plate. Shield level is selected separately. You can also set the armor level for many dwarves at once on the {{k|m}}ilitary screen, under {{k|w}}eapons.

Upgrading a civilian dwarf's armor level will not take effect unless they are activated as soldiers. Civilians will not wear armor other than [[clothing]], except for those given the [[Ambusher|Hunting]] [[labor]] (provided their armor level is set above "clothing"). This will, however, cause them to go out into the wilderness and hunt any wild animal they encounter.
If you set dwarves' armor level above their current set of armor (for instance, 'plate' when they are wearing chain armor), they will replace their current armor level and use armor of the better armor level when it is available. Unfortunately, dwarves do not make a distinction between different [[materials]] or [[quality|item qualities]], so if they are already wearing a [[helm]] (of, say, copper), they will not pick up a steel helm, as they are of the same armor level.

The solution is to set the dwarf's armor level to 'clothes', so that they drop their armor altogether, then station them standing on top of the pieces of armor you want them to wear (typically located on an armor [[stockpile]] or still in the [[forge]]) and set their armor to the desired level again. Hopefully you can get them to complete the operation without wandering off to find a set of civilian clothes to wear first. A similar technique can be used to get dwarves to change [[weapons]] as well (from an iron short [[sword]] to an [[obsidian]] one, for instance). This can be effectively managed by using the ['''q'''] tool to edit stockpiles to store only certain kinds of item materials. You could for instance keep a Stockpile of bone and wood [[bolt]]s as well as silver weapons behind a door near the [[barracks]], so you can lock up the crappy stuff when the [[goblins]] are at the door.
In older versions of the game, armor would be stored on an [[Armor stand]] -- a piece of [[furniture]] which could also be used to define a [[room]] as a barracks. However, both armor stands and [[weapon rack]]s proved to be buggy, and their "container" status has currently been disabled. For now, store your armor in a [[stockpile]] dedicated for the purpose.

Sometimes dwarves will ignore the armor they are standing on top of, and go put on the armor they had just removed. The best way to avoid this is to get rid of the inferior armor -- either by [[chasm]]ing it, [[melt]]ing it (if metal), or [[trading]] it away. This may take some time to carry out, meaning you must leave some of your soldiers at "clothing" armor level for a while until the unwanted pieces are disposed of. Keep in mind when melting armor pieces that only about 30% of the metal is recovered, so you should avoid making excess quantities with your most precious metal (steel, generally) unless you have a [[legendary]] armorsmith.

Heavy armor can reduce dwarves' [[speed]], especially when they wear several pieces. Being [[attributes|Strong]] will reduce this problem, as will [[Armor user]] skill (gained by fighting or sparring in armor). Extremely Strong dwarves can generally wear a complete suit of plate armor without being burdened. Armor User at "Expert" level is also generally enough to eliminate the burden of a full suit of plate, even for a dwarf without any Strength attribute. Experiment in adventure mode in order to find out more how this system works.

As an emergency measure, a dwarf who is about to be [[justice|hammered]] can be turned into a [[military]] recruit and set to "Plate" armor level; if they manage to don the suit before being captured, it will reduce the damage they take.

They may additionally protect upper and lower arms and legs, depending on the garment. Dwarves do not seem to make a distinction between genders when selecting clothing to wear, so don't be startled when you see them running around in dresses.
There is no real difference between armor and clothing, except that maybe only non-Clothing Garments may increase the [[Armor user]] skill.

[S] = Max one [S] per body slot(eg. only one plate mail, and no greaves and Leggings on top)

The Value in each hex represents the kind of armor a specific piece of armor counts as.

The "weight" figure is for items made of metal. Metal armor may be made from [[copper]], [[bronze]], [[iron]], or [[steel]], and weigh the same regardless of which metal they are made of. [[Leather]], plant [[cloth]], [[bone]], and [[shell]] items weigh half as much, [[adamantine]] items weigh one-eighth as much, and [[silk]] items one-tenth as much. Certain items (such as Leather Armor) cannot be made of metal, so their weights will always be half that listed in the table.

The '''Size''' and '''Permit''' values dictate how you stack armor. A dwarf who is authorized to use a certain type of armor that he can find easily(as in a stockpile), when he's not terribly busy, will go there and pick it up and use it depending on these variables. The dwarf has a '''Layer''' for every body slot. As he wears Garments, their' '''Size''' add to the body slot the items belong to(Head, Upper Body, etc.). When this layer variable is OVER an item's '''Permit''', then the dwarf will not consider to wear that item. This means that you can Cram a dwarf into one plate mail and three chain mails. The last chain mail went over the chain mail's limit of 50, so no more chain mail. Dwarves in Fortress mode will use the '''lowest''' permit of all the items they are wearing, and the code for finding and evaluating new equipment has some quirks that can lead to rather odd equipment setups, including the seeming inability for Fortress dwarves to wear [[cloak]]s unless set to "clothes" armor level. In adventure mode you can use a hefty bunch of cloaks on top of your Plate mail and 3 Chain mails though, since you are not at all prohibited by the search algorithms of Fortress dwarves.

== Other Sizes ==
Beware! Dwarves can not wear any armor that is named 'large', 'narrow' or 'small' ([[elves]]', [[goblins]]'...) (except [[large rat]] leather armor :-) ). The smug traders will not warn you of this.

== Requirements ==
Creating plate mails requires three [[bar]]s of metal to [[forge]]. Chain mails and greaves require two bars. All other metal armors require one bar. Note that making gauntlets or boots will always produce a pair (a left and right gauntlet, or two boots) from one bar of metal. A full suit of leather armor requires four leather pieces to manufacture, a full suit of chain armor requires six metal bars, and a full suit of plate armor requires eight metal bars. This does not include [[shield]]s.

Bone greaves require three ''stacks'' of bone to make (the stacks can be of any size), and bone leggings require two stacks; all other bone and shell items (including shell leggings) require one stack of bone/one shell to make.

== Shields and Bucklers ==

Shields and [[buckler]]s come in all the same material flavours as armor, but offer a slightly different form of protection. While armor absorbs some of the damage from all successful attacks, a shield provides complete protection from some attacks. In [[Adventure Mode]], a successful block may also grant the defender an immediate free counterattack. Bucklers weigh less than shields, making them useful for more mobile [[marksdwarf|Marksdwarves]], but provide less protection.

Shields work by offering a chance for an instantaneous deflection. Shields provide a 20% chance of total deflection, while bucklers provide a 10% chance of deflection. This chance of deflection is then altered by the wielder's [[Shield user]] skill, although the exact mechanics are unknown.

== Fun Facts ==
* Dwarves will not switch to Metal greaves by themselves if they already wear bone greaves.
* Dwarves will not take off leather armor or chain mail when allowed a higher armor class; they will also keep what they wear. They will however switch between leggings and greaves.
* Dwarves feel it's perfectly normal to wear one leather low boot and one steel high boot. If it fits, it fits, right?

Neoskel: /* Types of Protection */

==Armor==
'''Armor''' is a class of clothing items that your [[dwarves]] can wear for protection to keep them alive longer. Armor can range from simple [[clothing]], light weight [[shell]], [[bone]] and [[leather]], to heavy [[chain mail]] and [[plate mail]].

Giving your dwarves protective garments will help to keep them alive in combat, as well as safe from the elements. It will also protect them against [[sparring]] injuries and may develop their [[Armor user]] skill.

While clothing is not something that you need to worry about in the first few years of your fortress, after some time the clothing your dwarves wear will start to [[wear]] away. Wearing old or tattered clothes creates unhappy [[thoughts]], and having clothing wear away completely creates an even bigger one. Civilians will not wear armor other than clothing. Assign them to be [[miner]]s or lumberjacks if you're concerned about them, since they'll carry [[axe]]s and [[pick]]s then even if they're not drafted.

== Making armor ==
Depending on the type and material, different dwarves with specific skills are needed to make armor. While clothes aren't necessarily armor, they do offer limited protection. Shell and bone armors are made by a [[bone carver]] at a [[craftsdwarf's workshop]]. Chain mail and plate mail are made by an [[armorer]] at a [[metalsmith's forge]]. The type of [[metal]] used affects the effectiveness of the armor. Leather armors are made at a [[leather works]] by a [[leatherworker]]. Skilled craftdwarves, leather workers and armorers will produce better quality armor that multiplies the effectiveness of the item.

==Quality==
[[Toady]] has [http://www.bay12games.com/cgi-local/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=12&t=000013 stated] that [[Quality|item quality]] increases its protection (or damage, in the case of [[weapons]]), namely, "Quality has a huge effect on damage and damage reduction... Exceptional is almost double damage/damage block."

{|cellpadding="2" border="1"
! Symbol !! Name !! Damage reduction multiplier
|-
| Item || Basic armor || x1.0
|-
| -Item- || Well-crafted armor || x1.2
|-
| +Item+ || Finely Crafted armor || x1.4
|-
| *Item* || Superior Quality armor || x1.6
|-
| ≡Item≡ || Exceptional armor || x1.8
|-
| ☼Item☼ || Masterful armor || x2.0
|}
==Material==
Better materials provide better protection, according to the following table:

{|cellpadding="2" border="1"
! Material !! Modifier %
|-
| [[Adamantine]] || 500
|-
| [[Steel]] || 133
|-
| [[Iron]] || 100
|-
| [[Bronze]] or [[Bismuth bronze]] || 75
|-
| [[Copper]] || 66
|-
| Other metals/materials ([[leather]], [[cloth]], [[bone]], [[shell]], [[wood]], etc.) || 50
|}

== Using Armor ==

To tell a [[dwarf]] to wear armor in Fortress Mode, {{k|v}}iew the dwarf, go to {{k|p}}references, then {{k|s}}oldiering. There you can select the highest level of armor he should wear: clothes, leather, chain, or plate. Shield level is selected separately. You can also set the armor level for many dwarves at once on the {{k|m}}ilitary screen, under {{k|w}}eapons.

Upgrading a civilian dwarf's armor level will not take effect unless they are activated as soldiers. Civilians will not wear armor other than [[clothing]], except for those given the [[Ambusher|Hunting]] [[labor]] (provided their armor level is set above "clothing"). This will, however, cause them to go out into the wilderness and hunt any wild animal they encounter.
If you set dwarves' armor level above their current set of armor (for instance, 'plate' when they are wearing chain armor), they will replace their current armor level and use armor of the better armor level when it is available. Unfortunately, dwarves do not make a distinction between different [[materials]] or [[quality|item qualities]], so if they are already wearing a [[helm]] (of, say, copper), they will not pick up a steel helm, as they are of the same armor level.

The solution is to set the dwarf's armor level to 'clothes', so that they drop their armor altogether, then station them standing on top of the pieces of armor you want them to wear (typically located on an armor [[stockpile]] or still in the [[forge]]) and set their armor to the desired level again. Hopefully you can get them to complete the operation without wandering off to find a set of civilian clothes to wear first. A similar technique can be used to get dwarves to change [[weapons]] as well (from an iron short [[sword]] to an [[obsidian]] one, for instance). This can be effectively managed by using the ['''q'''] tool to edit stockpiles to store only certain kinds of item materials. You could for instance keep a Stockpile of bone and wood [[bolt]]s as well as silver weapons behind a door near the [[barracks]], so you can lock up the crappy stuff when the [[goblins]] are at the door.
In older versions of the game, armor would be stored on an [[Armor stand]] -- a piece of [[furniture]] which could also be used to define a [[room]] as a barracks. However, both armor stands and [[weapon rack]]s proved to be buggy, and their "container" status has currently been disabled. For now, store your armor in a [[stockpile]] dedicated for the purpose.

Sometimes dwarves will ignore the armor they are standing on top of, and go put on the armor they had just removed. The best way to avoid this is to get rid of the inferior armor -- either by [[chasm]]ing it, [[melt]]ing it (if metal), or [[trading]] it away. This may take some time to carry out, meaning you must leave some of your soldiers at "clothing" armor level for a while until the unwanted pieces are disposed of. Keep in mind when melting armor pieces that only about 30% of the metal is recovered, so you should avoid making excess quantities with your most precious metal (steel, generally) unless you have a [[legendary]] armorsmith.

Heavy armor can reduce dwarves' [[speed]], especially when they wear several pieces. Being [[attributes|Strong]] will reduce this problem, as will [[Armor user]] skill (gained by fighting or sparring in armor). Extremely Strong dwarves can generally wear a complete suit of plate armor without being burdened. Armor User at "Expert" level is also generally enough to eliminate the burden of a full suit of plate, even for a dwarf without any Strength attribute. Experiment in adventure mode in order to find out more how this system works.

As an emergency measure, a dwarf who is about to be [[justice|hammered]] can be turned into a [[military]] recruit and set to "Plate" armor level; if they manage to don the suit before being captured, it will reduce the damage they take.
